The high school football season is one-third over, and for Seymour it has been a rough start, and while Brownstown is 2-1, Braves fans feel like their team should be 3-0.
Owls coach Jeff Richey said, going into the season, that the first three games would be the roughest. Columbus North, Jeffersonville and Columbus East have a combined record of 8-1. Seymour’s six remaining opponents are a combined 6-12.
Of those six opponents, only Brownstown at 2-1, has a winning record.
Richey says the Owls have some things to fix with the two big areas being establishing a running game and stopping opponents’ big plays.
Seymour has only one rushing touchdown in the three games, while all three opponents have scored on plays of over 50 yards.
Brownwstown coach Reed May said before the season that his team would take things one day at a time, and he has generally been pleased with the progress.
The Braves stumbled against Charlestown 35-31, and May was the first to say, “When you score 31 points you should win.”
The Owls hope to climb in the win column Friday night at Floyd Central, but it doesn’t figure to be easy as the Highlanders are coming off a big win over Madison.
Brownstown will play host to unbeaten Salem and May says the Braves can’t afford another loss in the conference if they expect to win the Md Southern.
